Chapter 221: Facing Her Past Part 2

"Speak already. If you don't have anything to say, I will be leaving. I only came here because of Lex in the first place and he is the only family that I have currently, along with our other companion" stated Angela, surprising Lex who also saw her as a younger sister of sorts, but had never said it to her.

Smiling and putting his arm over her shoulders, Lex squeezed her shoulder with his left hand, reassuring her of his support and giving Angela a warm feeling.

Hearing what Angela said, the Gamma King and Queen couldn't help but smile slightly, but also become slightly disappointed, as their daughter seemed to have no love or pity in her heart for them.

The Gamma Queen along with the Gamma King both told Angela and Lex their stories and their past and how they had experienced so much pain, suffering and loneliness that was on a similar scale to that of which Angela experienced.

After knowing their past and reasoning, Angela pitted them slightly and also didn't hold any hate for them as that would merely bear on her mind and not benefit her, but also didn't forgive them and also still didn't care about them in the slightest.

"You experienced that pain yourself, so why did you make me experience it as well?" said Angela after they had finished speaking.

However just as they were about to answer, Angela interrupted them.

"Either way, I don't care anymore and like I have said, we have no connection or relation from this point forwards. If Lex were to ask me to kill you right now, I would do it without thinking twice for him and this is the last time you will ever see me or him in your lives"

Hearing that, it was clear that the Gamma King and Queen were hurt and disappointed, but that was to be expected after Angela reached a level where she could easily crush them and no longer had any reason to put up with them or forgive them.

Seeing that, Angela said, "If you really want forgiveness and salvation, you shouldn't seek it from me, but from the people. I have already moved on and it is time for you two to do the same. Our family bond was broken years ago due to your actions, but you can still create a new family and live a better and new life on the improved continent".

Lex was glad that Angela was able to say that and get it off their chest, while the Gamma King and Queen were glad that they could tell Angela everything they wanted to tell her and officially cut ties with her.

After giving them a moment to digest everything that was said, Lex decided that it was time to leave them.

They had kind of reconciled and there was no longer any hate between them, so it was enough for Lex to be satisfied with.

"Angela, I will send you back now and follow after you in a moment," said Lex.

She nodded her head before disappearing and appearing in the Portable Sub-Dimension.

"Now for you two, I have one more thing to do," said Lex as he glared at them.

"Are you going to kill us?" they both asked as they stood up, clearly prepared to die.

"No, I am just going to leave you with some things that I want you to do as soon as possible. The royal district needs to be removed and this country needs to have more equality and opportunities for those that aren't in good positions"

"And here is some more of that energy water that I poured on you before. Pour it into some normal water and bathe in it to completely recover from the beat down that I gave you" said Lex as he placed two buckets filled with it before them.

He had prepared many buckets of energy water within his inventory so that he had some of it at all times.

They wanted to thank them but before they could, he disappeared.

"Don't disappoint me and force me to kill you two. I am giving you a chance to change and help the continent, but if you don't do that, then I will make sure you die a slow and painful death" 

Lex's voice echoed throughout the broken room that the Gamma King and Queen stood in, but he wasn't anywhere to be seen.

It was actually because he was beneath their feet, by using the power of the Land Elemental Energy Transformation, instead of going into the Portable Sub-Dimension.

Lex decided not to go back to the Portable Sub-Dimension so soon, knowing that Angela still needed some more time to consolidate her cultivation as best as she could, which she found much easier after taking a break and talking to her parents.

Instead, he decided to visit all of the leaders on the continent one by one and went straight into their private quarters each time, without a care in the world.

He would always experience the same thing where he would allow them to strike him and they would become injured, which amused him and then he would go on to scare them with his Dominant Eye and aura.

After threatening them and making sure that they were completely devoted to the continent and the Earth Leader, Lex would leave them a small reward, like a Heaven Mortal Beast Core, which were very rare after Lex killed most of the powerful beasts on the continent.

Most of them were much more submissive and seemed to genuinely want to work under the Earth Leader and after returning to the Portable Sub-Dimension, Lex felt accomplished and great.

The continent was doing great and on track to continue to improve, both in terms of power and quality of living for the people, so all that was left was for Angela to finish her cultivation session so that they could leave the continent and explore.
